Tiffany Haddish to Host 2018 MTV Movie and TV Awards

One of the most sought-after talents in the business,
Haddish has been on a tear of late, racking up a series of
high-profile gigs. She recently inked a two-year first-look deal
with HBO with her She Ready production company, and will star in
an animated series for Netflix, "Tuca and Bertie," from the team
that created "BoJack Horseman."

Haddish's breakout year includes winning a New York Film
Critics Circle best supporting actress award for her performance
in 2017's "Girls Trip." Her book "The Last Black Unicorn" was
named a New York Times bestseller, and her stand-up special
"Tiffany Haddish: She Ready!" premiered on Showtime last year.
She was also the first black stand-up comedian to host "Saturday
Night Live," which she did to rave reviews.

Haddish is set to star opposite Tracy Morgan in the TBS
sitcom "The Last OG" and alongside Kevin Hart in Universal's
"Night School," hitting theaters later this year.

The awards show, which began including TV nominees last
year, will be held on June 18 at 9 p.m. ET. This year's nominees
and categories will be announced at a later date. Last year, MTV
replaced the best actor and best actress categories with
non-gendered distinctions -- best actor in a movie and best
actor in a show -- along with longtime fan favorite categories
like best kiss, best hero, and best villain.
